bullywee Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I remember the first time i ever saw a black person was in Glasgow Green when i was no older than 3 and i shouted 'LOOK AT THE CHOCOLATE PEOPLE', much to my mum's horror. I hope to God that they didn't hear me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) As someone who's used to looking at palaeogeographic maps, it took me about 30 secs to clock what that's all about. Eta: Ah, I was only looking at the lower 2/3rds of the image. That lake in the shape of Greenland's a bit of a giveaway!

Hedgecutter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I occasionally wonder who decided that we're in the northern hemisphere and not the south. World map could have so easily looked like this. Weird, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sorry if I'm being dense, but I don't really get it It's a map of the world but the oceans have been replaced by land and vice versa? Is what I saw straight away. Isthere more to it than that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what I saw straight away. Isthere more to it than that? That's exactly it. the oceans and land masses have been turned inside out, so that submerged geography becomes exposed mountains and existing land masses become bodies of water 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I occasionally wonder who decided that we're in the northern hemisphere and not the south. World map could have so easily looked like this. Weird, eh? All the important bits are at the top. I could be wrong, but I think Australia does have their world map like that. A bit as a GIRFUY type gesture. Which is fine. Sorry if I'm being dense, but I don't really get it It's a map of the world but the oceans have been replaced by land and vice versa? Is what I saw straight away. Isthere more to it than that? Pretty much, if the two changed that's how it would look. Presumably they did some smart shit with the mountain ranges and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Upon further study, I'm suspicious about the accuracy of some of those mid ocean ridges tbh. That's what'll have thrown me at first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 On the map Supras has posted, there is no correlation between height/depth of the land and ocean. There's a random ocean trench in the middle of South America (where the land is neither particulary high or low) and the Marianas trench runs from the Black Sea to Northen Russia. They've just copied and pasted sections willy nilly. Still quite cool though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
